My goodness, for a moment I confused Souza with Delpo, both look each other a lot (but not playing)

Paire has a nice game. If he was a bit more aggressive, I could see him being a solid top 20ish player.

Hopefully Gail read the quotes that Tracy Austin made about him and it would inspire him to stay focus for the entire tournament. In word's of DF.. He had no business loosing that match last year to Roger.

Still stunned by Nishikori's loss. There's no way around it. This is a bad, bad loss for Kei.

Wowow, the cable channel in Japan showing the US Open, is really going to feel this one.

Some positives from Rafa here...Serve looks like it is a bit faster. I saw a couple of 123mph stuff. He is moving well. He is dominating points with the forehand.

Not too pleased with Coric though. I have seen the kid play much better than this.

While Rafa looks pretty good, called me unimpressed with Borna. He looks like he does not belong to this level.

maybe it's Ashe. It can be difficult to play there for youngsters
